Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is concrete, unconsented install-time execution of an obfuscated credential-stealing payload, not package-aligned setup. The benign dist logger does not mitigate the malicious lifecycle chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-04T11:41:50.240Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-04T11:42:23.707Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 425 ms - **AI review time:** 32786 ms - **Total time:** 33467 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm installation silently executes an obfuscated second-stage payload. The payload collects credentials/tokens and supports remote code evaluation/exfiltration. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall - **Impact:** Credential/token theft and arbitrary remote payload execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:42:23.707Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** installer-downloaded runtime executes obfuscated credential-stealing payload - **Attack narrative:** The preinstall hook runs setup.mjs, which uses an installed Bun binary or downloads Bun from GitHub, then executes math\_init.js. That large obfuscated payload automatically starts its workflow, includes remote-response eval, and contains credential/token collection and outbound upload logic. This is unrelated to the logger runtime code. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, unconsented install-time execution of an obfuscated credential-stealing payload, not package-aligned setup. The benign dist logger does not mitigate the malicious lifecycle chain. - **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.3.13/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs setup.mjs through preinstall., setup.mjs downloads Bun and executes math\_init.js during install., math\_init.js is a 728KB obfuscated executable payload., math\_init.js contains remote-response eval and credential/token collection logic., The payload invokes its collection/exfiltration workflow automatically. - **Evidence against:** dist/ contains ordinary logging/interceptor code., The published runtime entrypoint does not need the install payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @arv-bedrock/logger@1.7.2. - Avoid installing @arv-bedrock/logger@1.7.2. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
